At this point in the Byrds' career (1970), Roger McGuinn had lead his fans through so many musical twists and turns (folk, pop, psych, country)... and all in the expanse of 6 years. Bands don't change this radically anymore. I can't imagine who was showing up for a Byrds concert in 1970. But if they did show up, they must have had their mynds blown with this nearly 10 minute instrumental version of Eight Miles High. The dude at 7:40 is channeling a proto-David Byrne dance. I believe some people in the audience might be using mind-altering substances. Possibly.
